Nothing about booting Linux, in general, is inherently black-and-white. But... > If I remember correctly, a friend running red hat had color text > while his machine was booting.

Debian doesn't have the seventeen-levels-deep-of-included-sh-script thing going, but this means that there's also no obvious/standard way for packages' init scripts to do the "pretty" output. There's not an easy way to set this up for every package, though it is possible in principle to modify everything in /etc/init.d to do what you want. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
